Trial summary

Cervical cancer is the second most frequent cancer of women in French Guiana. Studies have shown that populations living in remote villages in the interior of the territory have early sexual relations and that multiple sexual partnerships are frequent. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Epidémiologie de l'Infection à Human Papilloma Virus Chez Les Femmes Vivant Sur Les Fleuves Maroni et Oyapock

Cervical cancer is the second most frequent cancer of women in French Guiana. Studies have shown that populations living in remote villages in the interior of the territory have early sexual relations and that multiple sexual partnerships are frequent. Hence, the main objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of HPV in these areas, and the predictive factors and epidemiology of this viral infection.

Methods - This multicentric cross sectional study aimed the population of women aged 20 to 65 years, living in the remote villages along the Maroni and Oyapock rivers. Women wishing to participate will be included after being informed of the study team schedule through radio address and key opinion leaders. The search for HPV and cytologic examinations will be performed for each woman. 2 samples will be taken from each woman: one sample will be sent to Fort De France hospital for cytology, and HPV testing; cytologic analyses will be performed using the 2001 Bethesda classification. Another sample will be sent to Pasteur Institute in Cayenne for sequencing and detection of E6 and E7 RNA which are associated with carcinogenesis. HPV infection will be defined by the detection of viral DNA using the GREINER-BIO-ONE kit. Statistical analysis of the results will use STATA software and mapping will use Mapinfo.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence and distribution of Human Papillomaviruses genotypes (time frame: At the time of inclusion (baseline)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2016.
